Compiling and install Darwin Streaming Server on Ubuntu 10.x
Quick tutorial for installing DSS on Ubuntu 8.04.1 64bit (x86_64). Most of these details can be found here: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/6 Hopefully they will integrate these patches in to the next release, but until then here are the build instructions for Ubuntu: Download DSS 6.0.3: http://static.macosforge.org/dss/downloads/DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source.tar Download this patch: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/dss-6.0.3.patch (Thank you Sverker Abrahamsson!) And this patch: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/dss-hh-20080728-1.patch Finally get the modified Install script: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/Install The basic process is: 1. Get the build dependencies from the repositories. 2. Set up the qtss user (this is because the Install script does it in a way that is incompatible with Ubuntu) 3. Extract the source code. 4. Apply both patches. 5. Replace the Install script and chmod +x it
